There was a terribly unpleasant expression on Skyler’s face. He stumbled a couple of steps back.The nurse left in a hurry after speaking.Skyler’s body swayed. He held onto the wall for balance. He then slumped down on the bench next to him. He stared at Yale, stunned. “What did she say just now? Jocelyn White lost both her legs? How is that possible? She must be lying to me!”Skyler could not imagine how would someone as prideful as Jocelyn live after being handicapped! There was a pained expression on Yale’s face. He did not know how to comfort Skyler. “President Moore, take care of yourself! Nothing bad will happen to Miss White since she’s a good person!” Skyler let out a mocking laugh. “Nothing bad will happen to her… The car collided with her car although there’s only a terribly small chance of something like that happening!” Skyler suddenly wondered if this was karma. If he had not schemed against Lynn, Lily, and Howard, this might not happen right now. Yale look
Lexie stood by the side while waiting for Jocelyn. She did not walk forward either.Jocelyn raised her brow. “Director Claude!” Zayn was beyond worried. “Jocelyn, are you alright?” Jocelyn shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I just have a wound on my forehead. The doctor was afraid that I’d suffer from a concussion, so he asked me to get a scan of my chest and head.” Zayn sighed in relief and nodded. “The doctor was right. You should receive a thorough examination. After all, some people experience concussion a long time after getting into a car accident!”Jocelyn nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll receive all the examinations!” Zayn looked at Jocelyn and tried to say something. However, he stopped himself before he could ask her anything. “You should get examined first. After that, there’s something that I’d like to discuss with you!”Jocelyn frowned. “What is it? Can’t we talk about it here? It’s late now. I think the sky will be dark once it’s all over. She had gotten off work
Jocelyn believed most of what Zayn had said. However, she still insisted on being stubborn. “He’s not God. How can he know that all of this would’ve resulted in such an outcome? Do you think that he was behind Lynn’s miscarriage and rape as well?!” Jocelyn took Skyler’s side instinctively. Even if this incident really had something to do with Skyler, she would still take his side in front of Zayn. Zayn sighed in exasperation and said, “That’s why I think he’s extremely skilled. Three of them were met with terrible outcomes, but Skyler did not do anything illegal. Lily was the one behind Lynn’s rape and miscarriage. Lily deserves everything that happened to her. Jocelyn, Skyler is a terrifying person. You… you should keep your distance from him!”Lexie glanced at Jocelyn instinctively after hearing what she said. Jocelyn pursed her lips as she looked at Zayn. “Director Claude, these are all just your guesses. You can’t deem him guilty just because of your personal views!”Zayn
Zayn stared at Skyler. There was a hostile gaze in his eyes. Jocelyn felt rather exasperated. Zayn was obviously just worried about her. She was afraid that Zayn would say something inappropriate in front of Skyler. She immediately explained things to him. “Director Claude! Mr. Moore purposely came over to visit me after he found out that I got into a car accident!” After speaking, she explained things to Skyler again. “Director Claude found out that I got into a car accident. He used his authority to help me receive a full body examination in advance!” Skyler looked at Zayn expressionlessly after hearing what she said. He spoke in a lukewarm tone, “Thank you, Director Claude!” Zayn, who was always calm and gentle, had a dark expression on his face. “Jocelyn got into a car accident because of Lily White!” Skyler seemed to sense something strange as well. He took one step ahead and stood in front of Jocelyn instinctively. “Is that so? If that’s the case, this doesn’t ha
Jocelyn’s heart lurched. She then spoke up and started stammering, “Mr.… Moore!”She looked at Skyler’s icy but handsome face fearfully. She was extremely anxious. Skyler walked down the staircase step by step with a calm expression on his face. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” Jocelyn wanted to ask him about the accident, but she did not have the courage to ask him about it directly. She tried to start the conversation with another topic. “Mr. Moore, you asked me to meet you at Jubilee Club in the evening. May I know if anything happened?”Skyler did not look at Jocelyn. He walked over in his sleeping robes and sat down on the sofa. Whitie no longer feared him after receiving plenty of cuddles from him in the past two days. After seeing Skyler walk over, White raised its eyes to look at him lazily. It did not run away from him. Skyler took Whitie into his arms and looked at Jocelyn. “That’s not what you wanted to ask, right?”After seeing Zayn’s attitude toward him today, he g
Jocelyn had a feeling that if she were she say that she sympathized, Skyler would come forward and pinch her. She shook her head with a dazed look. “No, I did sympathize with her before but, that was because I didn’t know that she was willing to let people die for her own selfish desires. After knowing how malicious she was towards me, my only regret is that I sympathized with someone like her!”A light flashed in Skyler’s eyes and he snorted softly. “You’re so dumb!”Jocelyn glared at Skyler with a frown. “Then why are you doing this? The one they’re after is me and it has nothing to do with you!”Skyler's expression turned sour. “Jocelyn, did you forget who you are?”Jocelyn pouted. “So, you’re doing this because of me?”Words could not describe the complicated feelings in Jocelyn’s heart. Skyler was rather hypocritical since he had a soft expression yet his words were harsh. “You’re overthinking it. As long as I’m accountable for you, I wouldn’t let anyone do something like
Jocelyn looked at Skyler in disbelief and her expression unchanging. “Skyler… I…” She wanted to apologize and thank him but did not know how to say it at that moment. She stayed silent for a while before finally asking a brainless question, “Didn’t Michael say that the letter is a fake?” As soon as she said it, Jocelyn wanted to hit herself. Why did she not know what was the right thing to say! Now she finally understood why Skyler was not curious at all when he heard the servant tell him that Lily had threatened her with the letter. He had already known about it! Skyler looked at her mockingly. “At this point, don’t tell me that you don’t know that it was me that made him say that!” Jocelyn bit her lip. “Mr. Moore, I’m sorry. Thank you!” Skyler knew what she meant by that. She was sorry for misunderstanding him and thanked him for retrieving the letter. He snorted coldly. “You don’t have to say anything, I don’t need your thanks either! Initially, I was hesi
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while. The family doctor was a bit embarrassed. “Mr. Moore, Miss White said that you were clawed by a cat and she invited me over to give you the vaccine for rabies and a tetanus shot!” Skyler’s expression was incredibly foul. “It won’t kill me!” Jocelyn pursed her lips helplessly and struggled to understand Skyler’s awkward personality. He was not actually as cold as he appeared yet he insisted on making himself unapproachable. The family doctor laughed. “Mr. Moore, under normal circumstances, it’s true that it won’t kill you since the possibility of getting rabies after being injured by a cat or dog is very slim but who would know if they’ve been infected? The injection is just a prevention method!” Skyler’s expression was so upset. “Come in!” Skyler sat on the study’s sofa and the doctor quickly took out the antiseptic solution to help him clean the wound. Jocelyn quiet stood at the side as the doctor gave Skyler the shot and
